Hi folks,

Today I rebooted my computer and ended up with the word GRUB.(no keyb input possible)
Nothing wrong to find except that it want boot
After some actions described later I decided to make a boot cd just as described in the grub manual.
I copied the contents of my boot partition to this cdrom + the eltorito stage.
This works fine, with this workaround I can again boot my computer.

But now the real job,repair the combination mbr-grub.

Therefore I booted the suse install dvd in the repair mode.
It repaired the filesystem (ext3) of my boot partition.
Nothing changed, the boot ended with GRUB
Then I reinstalled grub via the install dvd in repair mode.
Same problem.
Then a restore of the mbr.
Nothing changed

What can be wrong ???

Thanks, Hans
